This show will be a (reasonably) faithful reading of Elton John's legendary album, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," plus a few special encore songs to close the night. Just like the album itself, there will be two sets with a brief intermission between album one and album two.

The core band will be joined by many special guests, including Shawn Smith of Satchel, and Matt Alber from Portland.

Vocalist/guitarist Patrick R. Porter describes the inspiration for this show:

“I was four years old in 1973, and one night my parents were about to leave me with a babysitter and go out for the evening. When the babysitter showed up, she had a fresh copy of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road still wrapped in the original cellophane. She was bringing it to play on my dad’s enormous stereo, which dominated the small living room at our house in Skyway. Dad saw an opportunity, and he postponed the plans he had for the evening so he could get a fresh recording of the album on his reel-to-reel tape recorder, literally the first time that the vinyl record was ever played. Thus the true story: I fell in love with this album because my dad bootlegged it from my babysitter.”

It’s old country meets new world in the latest larger-than-life Teatro ZinZanni concoction.

For the first time ever the singers and musicians of "House of Thee UnHoly" will be playing a "stripped down set" that would be minus the dancers ;)

Fresh from ten packed out shows of the stage production "House of Thee UnHoly" at The Triple Door this last March, these five exceptionally talented musicians and three singers will be singing and playing some of their favorite Led Zeppelin songs.

Music is your master as “Sarah Rudinoff and Jen Ayers deliver powerful, mind-blowing vocals. The band alone is worth the price of admission,” reported The Examiner during the show’s last run. “The show delivers on its promise to leave you dazed, confused, and ecstatic."

The epic, 90-minute, non-stop, explosion of ‘70s mythology and sexually-charged psychedelia, House of Thee UnHoly returns to The Triple Door March 12 through 16, in Seattle for five nights and ten shows.

Featuring Druids, Vikings, Hindu goddesses, sex, drugs, rock ’n’ roll -- and a little bumble bee with a big problem – thirteen dancers, three singers and four musicians will rock audiences in a radical rocklesque celebration of the 21st Century’s most excessive decade.

The Triple Door joins creative director paulanow (formerly known as The Swedish Housewife), along with a kaleidoscope of Seattle’s most outré and imaginative choreographers, dancers, burlesque performers, musicians, costumers, stage designers and theatrical performers in the show’s first staging since 2011.

"House of Thee UnHoly, clearly has a rabid following, if the whoops and hollers and cheers are any indicator,” said The Seattle Times. “The costumes, extravagantly fanciful.”“House of Thee UnHoly’s sheer visual and auditory spectacle cannot be overemphasized,” wrote Culture Mob, and The Seattle Weekly called it, "Broadway level Burlesque."

Be prepared for your favorite Christmas tunes played by some of the areas finest musicians, the grand comedy of the infamous Cathy Sorbo (the voice of the Rat City Roller Girls), and holiday performances by the Triple X Dancers.

If you have been to this event before you know exactly what to expect...but if you have NOT, plan for it to be fun, flirty, and PACKED to the walls with people. Get your tickets early to ensure your Holiday Hootenanny Hotseat!
